You can't cover your tracks very well during a burglary if you're wearing an ankle monitor.

But it was a dropped wallet at the burglarized home containing Miller's ID that pointed detectives to the suspect. A quick check determined Miller, a suspect in other home burglaries, was wearing a GPS ankle monitor, which was able to electronically track him to the burglarized home and place him at the scene during the time of the crime, according to the report.
